Raising Funds to Fight Prohibition
in Texas and Elsewhere.

CHICAGO, June 7.-The National
association of wholesale liquor dealers
held an important meeting last night.
J. N. Atherton, of Louisville, KY, pre-
sided. In addition to local members
present, Texas delegation was in at
tendance. Whether they discussed the
local fight in Chicago is not known.
Gentlemen say they did not. They say
they had enough to do in preparing for
the prohibition fight in Texas. The pro-
hibition amendment there will be voted
upon August 4th and the fight is red hot.
One of the wholesale men says that the
500 assessments in Chicago is to fight
prohibition in Texas. Mr.. Atherton, the
president, admits that it is hard battle,
but thinks the liquor men will win, Then
prohibition in Tennessee comes to vote
September 9, and it must be met. That
is not all. West Virginia, Oregon, Da-
kota, Wyoming Territory, 10 say nothing
OF Michigan and Missouri, are causing
the liquor men much trouble, so the ma
tional association did not come here to
help Chicago dealers, but rather to be
helped. An assessment of ten cents per
barrel was made on old rye and bourbon,
and requests for funds made to whole
salers. Each distiller, he said, does his
level best, one in Cincinnati giving
$4,000,

Work Oh the c., N. & J.. r. r
Columbia Record, June 20M.

Mr.. Charles Ellis with his survey
ing corps went to work this morning
to get the bearings for the bridge over
Broad river, at the foot Of Elmwood
avenue, on the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens road. They will be
there until Wednesday, when all the
force but one assistant will be dis
charged for the present. AS soon as
the details for locating the bridge
are complete, the drawings and spec.
i6cations for the structure will be
made and bids invited for the build
ing Of the same. 1t has not been
decided as yet whether the bridge
will be of iron or combination of
wood and iron. 1t will, however, be
built without a draw, as the canal
runs along this point Of the river, and
in the event that it is completed will
answer all purposes of navigation.
The canal will also have to be
bridged, and the railroad authorities
intend asking permission Of the
State to erect a pier in the middle of
the canal, claiming that there will be
Is feet of water on either side of the
pier, sufficient room for boats to
pass.
Several lines have been surveyed
from the bridge location to the Union
Depot, but a permanent location OF
that portion Of the track depend upons
the selection that will be most ad.
vantageous for the road in the way OF
entering the city and securing room
for building its depots. This matter
will not be decided until the bridge
is complete.

A DISASTER IN GREENVILLE.
Tie Warehouse OF the Camperdown
Mills Struck by LiGhtning-7OO
BALES OF Gotten Burned.
.cDccicz 10 Nears and Courier.

GREENvlLLE, June 21.-The cot
ton warehouse Of Camperdown Mills
was set on fire by lightning few
minutes after 10 o'clock to night.
The building was an immense frame
structure, $50 feet long by 80 feet
wide, and stood within twenty-five
yards Of the main factory. 1t con-
tanned over seven hundred bales of
cotton, constituting the entire supply
on hand for tie use Of the mill until
the new crop comes in, and except q
few burned pieces Of bales the entire
lot was destroyed.
The fire started in the midst Of q
heavy rain. which had come up soon
after nightfall, accompanied by tre'
mendous peals of thunder, which
attracted universal attention. In
spite of the steady fall Of rain the
building with its highly combustible
contents flashed into one blaze
almost in a moment The fire de-
partment turned out promptly, but
their efforts were almost useless
against such fearful odds. At this
writing, l1.45 p. M, six streams are
playing on the smoking bales from
the engines and factory hydrants
and the frenen are laboring bravely
to save portion Of the blackened
mass Of bales lying where the big
warehouse stood.
To The Nears and Courier's cores
pondent the boo.keeper. Joe Sloan
said that the cotton is fully insured
Estimating the cotton at $40 bale
the loss will be fully $4,000. Super
intendent MCGOWAN said that the
mill would not be able to run day
until a new supply was laid in, anc
that would be difficult before the new
crop is marketed. The shutdown o.
the mill means loss CT employment
for 200 hands, and perhaps hardship:
for many more dependent on them.
A small store near the burning
warehouse caught fire, but was extin
guished.
! A peculiar feature of the fire was
that the lightning appeared to have
struck first the tall top of dead tree
standing fifty feet away, glancinG
then to the building.

A SHOCK IN SUlyMERVILLE.
The Jar Preceded, Accompanied and
Followed by Prolonged Roar.
Neacs and Courier, 10th.

At 1898 a. m. yesterday, in Sum-
merville. there was a shock of earth
quake that in one respect, at least,
was the most pronounced that has
been felt in that suburb since the 22d
day of last October. This shock was
of such intensity that it was plainly
felt in every part of Summerville and
for miles around the town.
On May 81 there was perceptib!e
tremor, and again on June 3, but
they passed without much comment.
The peculiar feature Of the disturb
ance yesterday, however, was the
roar, the prolonged reverberation,
which was so long and continuous as
to demand more than the ordinary
attention. According the statements
of several observers the sound waves
approached from a point between
sonth and southwest. At first there
was faint murmuring sound,
which gradually increased in power
until the actual roar diffu2ed itself
beneath and around and above like
the echoes of a possible subterranean
thunder. When the rattling din
| vas at it's maximum, the quiver
came set in motion, the general feel
ing being that the earth beneath
the houses had been violently raised
and was settling like sinking ship
grating upon underlying rocks. 1t
is not to be presumed, however, that
there was panic in town. Although
unusually severe, the shock was taken
with the stoicism of long familiarity
with these phenomena, and a few
minutes later nearly everybody in
Summerville was Quietly seated in
church.
1t Sineath's station and at Lad
sons Road, under line near both
of which the geologists have located
the fault in the underlying rocks, the
sound, or rather the roar, is said to
have been all of terrific din, and
the shaking of the earth proportion
ately severe.

ton on the proposed return of the
old Confederate flags in this wise:
'sMay the hand be paralyzed that
would receive them as the tokens of
a spirit Of peace and union and good
will, unless that spirit De sincere and
widespread, if not universal. They
were lost on the ield of honor. Bet
ter that they shall never be returned

..Is the natural state of man that c

Us the natural state of man that of
war;" The Atlanta Constitution
thinks that while men in q civilized
state do not indulge in free fight
wherever they meet, they do the same
thing in different way by political
strife, business rivalry anG the inor-
dinate desire Of everybody to mind
his neighbors business instead of
his own. Business rivalry and po-
litical strife are all very well and
proper, but there can be little doubt
that there are many so called moral
reformers, who, in the name of reli-
gion, are constantly looking after
their neighbor and criticising his
habits and customs, trying to take
the note out Of his eye, while the
beam remains in their own. And
besides these moral reformers, there
are men in everyday life who are
constantly minding everybody's bu-
siness but their own. Men aud wo.
men who by their insidious questions
and insinuations are creating strifes
and unpleasant feelings instead Of
minding their own business. What
we most need in this day as in every
other, is men and women to mind
their own business and leave other
people to do the same. Every man,
when he arrives at the age of discre-
ton is supposed to be responsible for
his own acts, and so long as he minds
his own business without infringing
upon the rights Of others, the best
way to help him is to mind our own
business and let him continue doing
the same.

THE WARM WAVE.
Prevailing from the Gulf to the Lakes.

WAsH1SGToN, June 20,-The warm
weather which has prevailed for the
last few days in nearly every part of
the country continues, but at the sig.
nal Office it is said that immediate
relief is to be expected from local
thunder storms. Should the winds
shift to the east, however, it would
have the effect of reducing the TEN.
perature in States bordering on the
ocean.
The present warm wave originated
in the Gulf States about the 18th
inst, and spread over almost the en-
tire country, small portion of New
England, the States bordering on the
great lakes being the only sections
which did not experience the torrid
heat yesterday.
At 7 o'clock this morning the ther
mometer registered 100 in Washing
ton, 740 IN Cincinnati and 100 in ST.
Louis, while in Boston and Roches'
